without cause, or (ii) Employee terminates his employment pursuant to Section
4.1, Employee shall have the following registration rights:
8.1. In the event that Rom Tech undertakes an underwritten public
offering of its Common Stock for its own account or files a registration
statement on Form S-3 during the period commencing on the date of such
termination and ending on the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement,
Rom Tech shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities (as
hereinafter defined) with respect to which Employee shall have so requested
registration to be registered, pursuant to the filing of a registration
statement on Form SB-2 or Form S-3, as the case may be, (or on such other
appropriate form as Rom Tech in its sole discretion shall determine), together
with the documents incorporated by reference therein (the "Registration
Statement"). The "Registrable Securities" that Rom Tech shall use its best
efforts to cause to be registered on behalf of Employee shall be all of the
shares of Rom Tech Common Stock acquired by Employee in the Merger (the
"Registrable Securities"); provided, however, that Rom Tech will not be required
to include the Registrable Securities in any such Registration Statement if (i)
Rom Tech continues to pay Employee's base salary and any bonus payment(s) to
which he would be eligible during the first two years of the Term, until the
second anniversary of the date of this Agreement; or (ii) Employee is able to
dispose of the Rom Tech Common Stock issued to him in connection with the Merger
without registration in reliance upon Rule 144.
8.2. Rom Tech shall in each case give written notice of such proposed
filing of a Registration Statement to Employee at least twenty days before the
anticipated filing date, and such notice shall offer Employee the opportunity to
register the Registrable Securities and, upon written request, given within 10
days after receipt of any such notice, of Employee to request the registration
of any of his Registrable Securities, Rom Tech shall use its best efforts to
cause the Registrable Securities to be registered. Rom Tech shall use its best
efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed
underwritten offering to permit Employee to include such securities in such
offering on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of Rom Tech
included therein.
8.3. At such time as it shall file the Registration Statement, Rom Tech
agrees to use its best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement under the Blue Sky Laws of such
jurisdictions, not to exceed ten in number, as shall be reasonably requested by
Employee in writing to permit Employees to sell or otherwise to dispose of any
and all Registrable Securities in such states, provided that Rom Tech shall not
be obligated to qualify as a foreign corporation to do business under the laws
of any jurisdiction in which it shall not then be qualified.
4
8.4. Rom Tech agrees to use its best efforts to cause the Registration
Statement and all such state filings to become effective and to remain effective
until the earlier of (A) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by the
Registration Statement have been sold or (B) nine months after the effective
date of the Registration Statement if the Registration Statement is filed
pursuant to Rule 415 of the Act (or any similar rule that may be adopted by the
SEC).
8.5. Employee undertakes to provide all such information and materials
and take all such actions as may be required in order to permit Rom Tech to
comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the SEC, to
obtain any desired acceleration of the effective date of such Registration
Statement and to comply with all requirements of applicable Blue Sky Laws or
other administrative agency of any state of the United States.
8.6. Rom Tech agrees to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments
and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement as may be necessary
to keep such Registration Statement effective during the period referred to in
Section 8.4 and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement, and
cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement,
and as so supplemented to be filed with the SEC.
8.7. Rom Tech agrees to furnish to Employee such numbers of copies of
the Registration Statement, each amendment thereto, the prospectus included in
such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), each
supplement thereto and such other documents as he may reasonably request in
order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by him.
8.8. Rom Tech shall promptly notify Employee at any time when a
prospectus relating to the sale of the Registrable Securities is required to be
delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of
which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading and Rom Tech will prepare a supplement or amendment to
such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading.
8.9. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of Rom Tech
to take any action pursuant to this Section 8 that Employee shall furnish to Rom
Tech such information regarding himself, the Registrable Securities held by him
and the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities and
execute such documents regarding the sale of the Registrable Securities as Rom
Tech shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the
action to be taken by Rom Tech.
5
8.10. Employee agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from Rom Tech
of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 8.8 hereof,
Employee will discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until
Employee's receipt of copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by Section 8.8 hereof, or until it is advised in writing (the
"Advice") by Rom Tech that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has
received copies of any additional or supplemental filings which are incorporated
by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by Rom Tech, Employee will
deliver to Rom Tech (at the expense of Rom Tech) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in Employee's possession, of the prospectus covering
such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. In
the event Rom Tech shall give any such notice, the time periods mentioned in
Section 8.4 hereof shall be extended by the number of days during the period
from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section 8.8
hereof, to and including the date when Employee shall have received the copies
of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 8.8 hereof, or
the Advice.
8.11. Rom Tech shall pay all expenses incurred by Rom Tech in
connection with the preparation and execution of the Registration Statement
referred to in Section 8.1; provided, however, that Rom Tech shall not be
obligated to pay any underwriting or brokerage commissions, discounts or fees
relating to any sale of the Registrable Securities or the fees and expenses of
any counsel to Employee.
8.12. If the Registrable Securities have been registered pursuant to
Rule 415, then if Employee desires to sell or otherwise transfer any of
Employee's Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement,
Employee shall notify Rom Tech of Employee's intention to do so by written
notice received by Rom Tech at least one business day prior to such sale or
transfer. Employee may effect a sale or transfer within 30 days after the
delivery of such notice unless Rom Tech shall have provided notice to Employee
pursuant to Section 8.8.
8.13. The rights to cause Rom Tech to use its best efforts to register
the Registrable Securities hereunder are not assignable except by prior written
agreement of the parties.
6
8.14. In connection with any registration of securities under this
Agreement, Rom Tech hereby agrees to indemnify Employee and each underwriter, if
any, against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue,
or alleged untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any registration
statement or prospectus (and as amended or supplemented if Rom Tech shall have
furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any preliminary prospectus
or caused by any omission, or alleged omission, to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are
caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission based
upon information furnished in writing to Rom Tech by Employee or, as the case
may be, any underwriter, expressly for use therein, and Rom Tech, each officer,
director and controlling person of Rom Tech and each underwriter, if any, for
Rom Tech shall be indemnified by Employee for all such losses, claims, damages
and liabilities caused by any untrue, or alleged untrue, statement or omission,
or alleged omission, based upon information furnished in writing to Rom Tech or
the underwriter by Employee for any such use.
Promptly upon receipt by a party indemnified under this Section 8.14 of
notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party in
respect of which indemnity or reimbursement may be sought against any
indemnifying party under this Section, such indemnified party shall notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action, but the
failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any
liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 8.14. In the case that notice of commencement of any such action shall
be given to the indemnifying party as above provided, the indemnifying party
shall be obligated to participate in and, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own
expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such
indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees
and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the indemnified party unless the
indemnifying party either agrees to pay the same or fails to assume the defense
of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. No
indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
8.15. Employee may not participate in any underwritten registration
hereunder unless Employee (a) agrees to sell his securities on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled
hereunder to approve such arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all
questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and
other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
agreements.

for any purpose whatsoever nor shall Employee divulge, in whole or in part,

secret to any person other than Rom Tech or persons about whom Rom Tech has
given its written consent, unless the confidential information or the trade
secret has already become common knowledge (other than as a result of any breach
of this Agreement), or unless Employee is compelled to disclose it by
governmental process.
Section 11. Intellectual Property.
11.1. Rom Tech shall be the sole owner of all the products and
proceeds of the Employee's services to Rom Tech and VR Acquisition Corporation,
including, but not limited to, all materials, ideas, concepts, formats, designs,
suggestions, developments, arrangements, packages, computer programs,
inventions, patent applications, patents, copyrights, trademarks and other
intellectual properties (collectively, "Intellectual Property") that Employee
may acquire, obtain, develop or create in connection with the employee's
employment hereunder, free and clear of any claims by Employee (or anyone
claiming under Employee) of any kind or character whatsoever (other than
Employee's right to receive payments hereunder).
11.2. Employee shall, at the request of Rom Tech, execute such
assignments, certificates or other instruments as Rom Tech may from time to time
deem necessary or desirable to evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, protect,
enforce or defend its right, title and interest in or to any such Intellectual
Property.
11.3. The foregoing will not apply to any inventions which are
described in California Labor Code Section 2870.
8
Section 12. Covenant Not to Compete or Solicit. Employee agrees that:
12.1. During the term of Employee's employment, Employee will
not, either solely or jointly with, or as manager or agent for, any person,
corporation, trust, joint venture, partnership, or other business entity,
directly or indirectly, carry on or be engaged or interested in any business
which competes with the business of Rom Tech and VR Acquisition Corporation,
provided that investments constituting less than five percent (5%) of a
publicly-held entity shall be exempt from Employee's covenant.
12.2. For one (1) year after Employee's employment terminates,
Employee will not, either solely or jointly with, or as manager or agent for,
any person, corporation, trust, joint venture, partnership, or other business
entity, directly or indirectly, carry on or be engaged or interested in any
business which competes with Rom Tech and VR Acquisition Corporation, (i.e.
sells software which is directly competitive with software sold by Rom Tech and
VR Acquisition Corporation) ("Competing Business"), provided that investments
constituting less than five percent (5%) of a publicly-held entity shall be
exempt from Employee's covenant.
12.3. During Employee's employment with Rom Tech, and for one
(1) year following the termination of Employee's employment, Employee will not
either solely or jointly with, or as manager or agent for, any person,
corporation, trust, joint venture, partnership, or other business entity,
directly or indirectly, hire or attempt to hire any individuals who are
employees of Rom Tech and/or VR Acquisition Corporation during the term of
Employee's employment.
12.4. During Employee's employment with Rom Tech, and for one
(1) year following the termination of Employee's employment, Employee will not
either solely or jointly with, or as manager or agent for, any person,
corporation, trust, joint venture, partnership or other business entity, either
directly or indirectly, solicit, divert or appropriate, or attempt to solicit,
divert or appropriate to any Competing Business, any of Rom Tech's customers or
suppliers, and/or persons or entities with whom Employee worked or about whom
Employee had access to information (including any prospective customer or
customers) during the term of Employee's employment with Rom Tech.
12.5. The parties acknowledge that the market for products of
the type sold by Rom Tech and Virtual Reality is worldwide, and the area where
the goodwill of Virtual Reality has been established through sales, production,
promotion and marketing of its products includes each of the states and counties
in the United States, including each county in California. Accordingly, in order
to secure to Rom Tech the benefits of the Merger, the parties agree that the
provisions of this Section 12 shall apply to each of the states and counties of
the United States, including each county in California.
12.6. The salary to be paid to Employee and the benefits to be
provided to Employee have been negotiated at arms length as additional
consideration for the covenants in Sections 10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement.
9
Section 13. Remedies. Employee acknowledges and agrees to the
reasonableness of the restrictions in Sections 10 and 12, that these
restrictions were negotiated at arms length, that compliance with Sections 10
and 12 is necessary to protect the business and good will of Rom Tech, and that
a breach of any of the covenants in Sections 10 and 12 will irreparably and
continually damage Rom Tech, for which money damages will not be an adequate
remedy. In addition, in the event that Employee breaches or threatens to breach
any of these covenants, Rom Tech shall be entitled apply for: (i) a preliminary
and permanent injunction in order to prevent the continuation of such harm and
(ii) money damages insofar as they can be proved and determined. Nothing in
this Agreement, however, shall be construed to prohibit Rom Tech from also
pursuing any other remedy, the parties having agreed that all remedies are
cumulative.
Section 14. Warranty by Employee. Employee represents and warrants to
Rom Tech that Employee is not a party to any agreement containing a
non-competition provision or other restriction with respect to: (i) the nature
of any services or business which Employee is entitled or required to perform or
conduct under this Agreement or (ii) the disclosure or use of any information
which directly or indirectly relates to the nature of the business of Rom Tech
or the services to be rendered by Employee under this Agreement.
Section 15. Waiver of Rights. If in one or more instances either party
fails to insist that the other party perform any of the terms of this Agreement,
such failure shall not be construed as a waiver by such party of any past,
present, or future right granted under this Agreement and the obligations of
both parties under this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Section 16. Survival. Employee's obligations under Sections 10, 11 and
12 shall continue after and survive the termination of this Agreement, except
upon a termination pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, in which event only Sections
10 and 11 shall continue to be enforceable. In addition, the termination of
Employee's employment shall not affect any of the rights or obligations of
either party arising prior to or at the time of the termination, or which may
arise by any event causing the termination.
Section 17. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and
inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective heirs, successors,
permitted assigns, executors, administrators, and personal representatives.
Section 18. Severability. If any provision, section, paragraph, or
subparagraph of this Agreement is adjudged by any court to be void or
unenforceable in whole or in part, such adjudication shall not affect the
validity of the remainder of the Agreement, including any other provision,
section, paragraph, or subparagraph. Each provision, section, paragraph and
subparagraph of this Agreement is separable from every other provision, section,
paragraph and subparagraph, and constitutes a separate and distinct covenant. If
any term, provision, section, or paragraph of this Agreement shall be determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable because it is
excessively broad as to time, duration, geographical scope, activity, or
subject, the parties hereby expressly agree that the court making such
determination shall have the power to limit and reduce such term, provision,
10
section, or paragraph and/or to delete such specific words or phrases which the
court shall deem necessary to permit enforcement of such term, provision,
section, or paragraph to the maximum extent compatible with applicable law as it
then in effect.
Section 19. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing
and shall be deemed to have been duly given, made and received only when
delivered (personally, by courier service such as Federal Express, or by other
messenger) or on the second day after being deposited in the United States
